This workshop will provide an overview of what decolonizing the curriculum can mean, including reimagining content, understanding bias, and being open to new ways of teaching and learning. Interactive and discussion-based components will allow participants to arrive at a foundational understanding of the processes and questions involved in decolonizing our minds, educational processes, and approaches to curriculum development and help us to move toward transforming our teaching and learning practices.
